/ and the points of interest visited were va
/ rious. A number of the gentlemen COM
/ prising the party opened the day with a
visit to the several departments in the City
Hall, and manifested much interest there
in. An exhibition of the Fire Department
was given at Fort Hill square at IL O'Clock,
an alarm being sounded from box AZ. No
one in the department, except the engineers
and men at Fort Hill square knew that the
alarm was for an exhibition, and the
promptness with which the six steamers,
one chemical engine, three hook and lad
der trucks and water tower responded won
the admiration of the Royal party. Then
Chief Engineer Weber showed the visitors
all the means employed in extinguish-
ing fires. The water tower was a great
novelty, and the practical operation of the
canvas chute as a means of escape from
high buildings was watched with much
interest. A visit to the protective depart
ment house and an inspection of its APP
paratus, methods and results proved very
interesting to the party, which then pro-
